Variety of Peripherals

Do more with less and minimize hardware.

Signature Capturing

Capture voter's signatures on the AskED On Demand Ballot Printing screen without purchasing any additional hardware. Separate signature pads for voters to sign can easily be added as well.

Barcode Scanning

Scan a voter's drivers license, ID or barcode on the AskED On Demand Ballot Printing device without purchasing any additional hardware. Separate barcode scanners are also available.

Network Connections

AskED On Demand Ballot Printing does not require a connection to operate. With connectivity voter information is up-to-date and enables immediate updates of voter history.

Secure Central Server

AskED On Demand Ballot Printing may be securely connected to a secure central server via a WAN connection (such as an existing Internet connection, Verizon cards, etc.). SSL encryption is used to ensure that no devices may intercept this communication. A virtual private network (VPN) is used for added security. All voter history is stored in multiple locations on each AskED On Demand Ballot Printing device in addition to being on the central server. This eliminates the need for cables.

Peer-to-Peer

AskED On Demand Ballot Printing may also be connected directly to each other within a location. This allows for any number of devices to be networked in a peer-to-peer fashion and does not require a server in the voting site. While this would not keep other voting centers up-to-date, it would ensure that all units within one voting site contain all voter history information for security and backup regardless of whether a WAN connection exists or not.

AskED Server Software

Each county who purchases AskED On Demand Ballot Printing will receive a license of the AskED Server Software which can be used from our servers or from a county-provided SQL server.

Surveying of Voting Locations

Once your county has selected voting locations, Robis Elections will visit each location to provide feedback on any connectivity, power or set-up issues that might affect the use of that voting site for Election Day.

Command Center™

Remote configuration allows you to make updates or access reports anywhere, anytime. Administrators are able to monitor all AskED ePollbooks from a centralized portal.

Be the first to know what is happening across your jurisdiction. Get immediate access to: voter turnout, provisional ballot counts, ballot styles voted, voters by location/party/style/time and more.

Expand Your Potential

Add functionality

The printers can handle automatic duplexing of 14” ballots and manual duplexing of 19” ballots. A full-duplexing 19” printer is optional.

1,000 sheets of ballot stock per unit are included and toner too.

This all-in-one case holds all the poll book hardware, making set-up instant and protecting all the components during storage and transportation. What makes this case unique is that all items are already set-up and connected within the case. This makes set-up simple. Storage is also simplified as all items just stay in the case.

Delivery & Set-up

Robis Elections will prepare each AskED On Demand Ballot Printing device with the software and the county’s data. We will deliver the units to each vote center prior to Election Day, and will set up the units for voting (usually the day before Election Day). After the Election, Robis will collect the units from each site.

Data Management

Robis Elections will work with you and your election equipment manufacturer to get data in an appropriate format. After the election, Robis Elections will support the county in exporting the data in a form to be imported/entered into the State Registration system (and/or printed for scanning).

Technical Support

Robis Elections will provide unlimited technical support via phone, fax and email during Robis normal business hours prior to the Election. In addition, you will have 24/7 emergency telephone support. On Election Day, Robis Elections will provide support staff in each county to visit sites and handle any issues that might arise.

Updates

Access to any new upgrades or updates that become available for AskED On Demand Ballot Printing or the AskED server software are included. Remote upgrading of server software is included where remote access is available. For units that are not remotely available, Robis Elections will provide software and installation instructions, or the jurisdiction may pay on-site rates to have Robis Elections perform the upgrades.

Tested and Proven

AskED On Demand Ballot Printing has a proven track record for jurisdictions big and small.

Dependable
